About Vanessa
Vanessa Rubin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Vanessa also supports people dealing with addiction, caregiver strain, grief, parenting challenges, and codependency concerns.
Vanessa uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people regain control over day-to-day life. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, stronger boundaries, and practical skills to manage emotions. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address symptoms and patterns that keep people stuck.
In the room she listens for how someone’s past and present patterns affect choices now. Conversations may look at attachment, abandonment fears, or how control and avoidance show up in relationships. Work often includes learning new ways to notice emotions and respond rather than react.
Vanessa also addresses workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and problems tied to substance use. She helps people break cycles of people-pleasing and codependent behavior by practicing limits and clearer communication.
Practical tools are a common part of sessions. Clients can expect thought records, mindfulness exercises, and skills from emotion-focused work to strengthen connections with themselves. The aim is clearer action steps and steadier coping between appointments.
How sessions work
How her therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking action toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help people who feel stuck by clarifying what matters and building small steps toward change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises like thought records and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense reactions and improving boundaries.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Vanessa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That can mean trying a few techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting plans as skills develop.
The original biography doesn’t list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during the workday, sessions without needing travel time, or using audio when video would be draining. Licensed professionals often adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT tools to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations back to therapy for problem solving.
